I Give Up. I’m Ditching OpenCanvas 7 For Clip Studio Paint.
As an Illustrator, I can’t use OpenCanvas 7 anymore. Two years. That’s almost how long it has been since OpenCanvas 7 received an update. The last update it got was on October 15th, 2019. That is insane. No software should be going that long without an update. And it’s a program that desperately needs features and bug fixes to keep up with its much more well-equipped competition. I have been dealing with the same bugs, if not more since I made my review on OpenCanvas 7 three years ago. Workspaces not working correctly, one time a file got corrupted and I lost all of my work on a commission, and constant crashing and freezing within the program. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ And where is the English Support Forums that they’ve apparently been working on since forever? I would say the most significant thing for OpenCanvas 7 that…
Yes, We Need More Women of Colour As Game Protagonists.
More games like Forspoken, please! I have just read the article by Ash Parrish on Kotaku: Sorry, Your Cis White Woman Protagonist Isn’t Progressive. As you can already predict, I very much do agree with what she wrote, and I want to add something a bit personal to what has already been said. Firstly, I’ll like to admit that as a trans woman I’m pretty much satisfied with a video game as long as it has a primary female protagonist for me to play as, regardless of ethnicity. This also includes games with customizable characters that let you choose your gender. As someone who grew up with games mainly featuring cis men, I have been absolutely delighted with the rush of new AAA games that star women protagonists like Returnal. Once I started my transition, I got annoyed by seeing game after game only having a…
Humble Choice: Why I Can’t Support Humble Bundle Anymore.
The result of IGN’s 2017 acquisition starts to show. Yesterday, Humble Bundle announced that they’re converting their Humble Monthly subscription programme to Humble Choice. Humble Monthly traditionally worked like a loot crate. It gave you a bunch of mystery games for a reoccurring subscription fee but showcasing and giving you at least one major game to play right away for that month. The rest of the games would be locked until they are revealed after the last day of being able to sign up for a month’s respective bundle. Now, Humble Bundle is doing away with the original, straight-forward subscription plan and has now given us four tiers of Humble Monthly…oh, wait, I mean Humble “Choice”. (눈_눈) Thus adding confusion to what was initially a simple subscription process. Benefits? Well, honestly…there’s next to none. One of the new “benefits” of Humble Choice is…
It Was All A Trap: From One Dysfunctional Home To The Next.
Be careful who you accept “help” from, especially if the person in question has a religious agenda. At first, I didn’t think I could write this comfortably because it would be practically throwing the people who gave me a place to stay under the bus. But with the grotesque things that were condoned, not only to me but to another person under their roof, this isn’t a matter to stay silent on. My stay was far from the “Rainbow Land” that my friend, Brenna, led me to believe, and this article will be going into what went wrong there. I will discuss how it appeared, how it actually was, and then the fallout of how everything that came to be. The Allure of Paradise. If you read my initial article, “How I Escaped My Abusive And Manipulative Parents”, then you would have probably taken note that…
